Jimbo Mathus, Andrew Bird - Encircle My Love lyrics
[Jimbo Mathus, Andrew Bird - Encircle My Love lyrics]
Through many strong cities there I've been
I sailed this world
Sailed it 'round and 'round
Encircle my love, encircle my love
And at the ends of the Earth
I'll tell you what I found
Sixteen horses and a golden crown
Tip away from the sun, let it rain from above
Encircle my love, encircle my love
Once I longed to say goodbye
It's the leaving brought me peace
To this I cannot lie now I'm just a poor boy
So far from home am I
And I just want to hold you
In my arms before I die
And when I'm gone go and bury me deep
Place a marble stone 'neath my head and feet
And on my grave place the wings of a dove
Encircle my love, encircle my love
